Graduate Students

Loans

Graduate students are eligible for Stafford Student Loans. Graduate students may borrow up to $18,500 per academic year. Loan disbursements are split equally over the semesters in an academic year. For example, if you are planning to attend fall and spring semester, you will receive two loan disbursements: one for fall and one for spring. If you are attending fall, spring, and summer semesters you will receive three equal disbursements. To apply for the Stafford Student Loan simply complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Employer Reimbursement

Many students in Westminster College graduate programs are eligible for tuition reimbursement from their place of employment. Westminster College will not require up-front payment from you while we are waiting for your employer to reimburse you or the college. In order to participate you will need your employer to sign a Tuition Reimbursement Agreement Form. (Please contact our Accounts Receivable Office at (801) 832-2134 for more information.) This form will only need to be completed once, provided you stay with the same employer. You will need to sign a promissory note with the college at the start of each semester. The college does charge a one percent per month finance fee to carry your tuition balance through the semester. However, many employers are willing to cover this charge.
